HERE WE COME AGAIN.:

Our friends have often laughed at the
TIMES, and asked if our railroad cuts are
not nearly worn out. No indeed. Track
laying commenced on the \ * d c. r.
r. at Bucklin last Tuesday, and will be
lain to Dodge within few days, as il is
intention of the manager to have 100 men
laying steel and ties by the first Of the
week Let her come Gallagher
We told you all that the roads are com
ing, and now here they are. Soon we
shall hear the breakman cry, Dodge
City thirty minutes for dinner, change
cars for all points south east or south
west"
We clip the following from the Globe
of this week Mr. r. r. Hudson, pres
ident of the Dodge City, Montezuma &
Trinidad railroad. was in our office Sat
turday and gave us some very encourag-
ing news concerning this line Of road.
He informs us that the graders have near
ly completed their work, through Gray
county, and in a very short time, perhaps
ten days, would be at work III Ford coun-
ty. There are three large gangs at work,
and everything possible towards the
early completion of the road is being
done, President Hudson is well pleased
at the progress being made, and in a
comparatively short time Dodge City will
be connected with Trinidad by rail. "

An editor died and slowly wendell his
way down to where he supposed warm
reception awaited him. The devil met
him and said: For many years thou
hast borne the blame for the bad spelling
that the printer has gotten off in the pa
per. The paper has gone also, for S1.OO;
the $1.O0 has often failed to come in.
The printers have bedeviled thee for
wages Saturday nights when thou hadst
not burned farthing to thy name. Men
have taken the paper without paying for
it, and cursed thee for not getting up a
better paper Thou has been called a
deadbeat by freight conductors and a
deadbeat by passenger conductors, when
thou hast shown the annual pass to their
envious gaze. All these things thou
hast borne in silence. Thou canst not
come in here" And he fired him. As
he did so he murmered to himself,
Heavens his home, and besides, if we
had let him come in here, he would have
been dunning his delinquent subscribers
and thus create discord in my Kingdom.

afford just for little time to have it
burned Hay is now worth 81 per ton in

Many cities have adopted, or are now
introducing, artificial filtration, and it is
to be hoped that some terrible epidemic
visitation will not be necessary to impress
our authorities with the necessity for
some action on their part. Pending such
action, the following general directions,
if given publicity and insisted upon, may
be the means of saving many lives. Drink
no water hat has not been previously
boiled. Do not put ice into the water
unless it is known to be pure, for the ice
may contain as many disease germs as
the water. The water should only be al
lowed to come to a boil when it should be
removed from the fire, for otherwise YOU
will expel the oxygen, which gives it an
unpleasant taste. After boiling it should
be placed in a stone jar and covered over;
when sufficiently cool it should be de-
canted into bottles and then put on ice.
1t is best to boil sufficient water each
morning to last during the day. If pos
sible to avoid it, do not use water that
has come from a tank on top of tire
house, which is often a very hot bed of
disease; far better to go to the basement
or yard, if you anne otherwise get a di-
rect flow from the main.
If you ave one of the many filtering
water coolers hat are on sale at every
housefurnishing store, throw it away
but before doing so break it to pieces that
some other unfortunate does not get hold
of it. Such devices, unless provision is
made for the entire removal and washing
of all the f~ltering material and unless
such operation is carried out every day,
are filthy incubators for the propagation
of bacteria. Cor. New York Tribune.
